Thank you for this. The type1 musixtex fonts were developed
by Takanori Uchiyama in about 2003 and there have been no
issues and no changes since then. On the other hand, the
current issue with dvipdfmx seems to have started recently
and did not arise with earler releases; has something
changed in the way dvipdfmx deals with type1 fonts? I also
note that no other dviware seems to have a similar issue.

Best,
Bob T.
